Maharathi Karna

From the Pages of  Maha Bharath:
Among the Scores of  Heroes who fill the pages of Indian Epics the character of Karna shines as one of the most noble incarnation of manhood. The love and devotion he bestowed upon the parents who adopted him and raised him, the sincerity and faithfulness he showed towards his savior and the ultimate sacrifice he made at the request of his biological mother to save the honor of his brothers cannot be matched by any other mythical champions.
This is a digital work done based on an oil painting by me.  

Territorial Dispute

Food is scarce in the wild during the Winter  months in North America. In search of food, a cougar accidentally walks into a territory claimed by a pack of wolves, who displays their displeasure to the intruder.

My First Oil Painting

This is my first oil painting, done on a 14 x 10" canvas board. I painted this tropical seascape in 1975. To be exact on the 7th.January. On a  freezing day during the severe Indiana winter, memory of a warm balmy land - that I had to leave behind to move on in life,  inspired me to attempt this oil.  

Since the day I was a middle school student, I had a desire to paint and believed that I could, if I try. Lack of opportunities and unavailability of paints, brushes & other materials in  towns in India where I grew up, did not help me to pursue this hobby.

Great oils of Raja Ravi Varma, whose canvases adorn the walls of Chitralayam in Trivandrum and works of other masters are sources of  my inspiration. Art Books from the Goshen Public Library and bookstores - including many that sell used books -, Art magazines, etc. have helped to fine tune my skills.
